Esper X Family – Chapter 399 – Didn’t I Say “For Fun”? Are You All Deaf?

After a week of slacking off in every possible way, no one had bothered Ye Yao at all.

Before she knew it, she had already been at the Countermeasures Bureau for a month.

In another day or two, she could go home for a visit, see Mama Xiao Jing, and put some serious pressure on a certain Dayun Truck.

Before that, she could do a little livestreaming.

By the way, she would be streaming as Ye Tong.

Luo Jianhua had already sent word to the higher-ups. Of course, it was just the usual heads-up.

To prevent them from suddenly freaking out.

“Is Sister trying to mess with those adults again?”

“Nope, I’m just in the mood for storytelling. I want to tell the viewers who’ve been waiting so long for stories, and only Ye Tong’s identity is suitable for that.”

Ye Yao wanted to make this a regular segment.

Since she had spent most of the week playing games, she could set aside one day for a storytime session.

Gaming was fun, but sometimes a change of pace was nice.

The viewers had watched her high-level gameplay for so long, it was time they saw another side of the streamer!

As the livestream started, viewers instantly flooded in.

“Streamer, you here to torture us again today?”

“I’m telling you, you gotta play more games. Just watching you makes me feel confident.”

“We misjudged you, Streamer. Turns out you just wanted to boost everyone’s self-esteem.”

Ye Yao gritted her teeth as she stared at the chat.

Even with the Countermeasures Bureau stepping in, how were there still so many people slandering her?

It really seemed like you could never get rid of all the trolls.

“No gaming today. Let’s continue from last time.”

The moment she said that, the viewer count visibly skyrocketed several times over.

“Holy crap! I love storytime!”

“The streamer has finally been eroded by Heavenly Will again. I’m tearing up!”

“I get it. The streamer’s family hasn’t beaten her in three days, so she’s asking for a beating.”

Ye Yao was pleased with the audience’s reaction.

It seemed like she still had some clout. If only they were this enthusiastic when she played games…

“Before I start the story, feel free to ask some questions. If I see them, I’ll answer depending on the situation.”

At those words, the audience went wild.

Could it be that this old-timer was actually willing to share some secrets?

The next moment, a barrage of Superchats popped up, all paid comments from wealthy fans. Regular messages scrolled by too fast, but these paid ones would stay visible for a little longer.

Behind the scenes, the Ye Yao Circle snapped to attention, terrified that some strange idea might pop up in those paid comments.

Ye Yao might not care, but if Ye Tong felt like it, she might actually answer.

“Streamer! Have you been following the trending topics online? Apart from us humans, it seems other animals have started mutating! What are your thoughts on this?”

“Interesting.” Ye Yao’s answer was brief.

Did these paid commenters think she would talk more for a mere message?

They would have to beat the pocket money Lou Wei gave her first.

“Streamer, do you know Tong Yao? Not only did Tong Yao awaken abilities in all of humanity, but other animals have also evolved. Is there some deeper meaning behind this?”

Before Ye Yao could answer, the chat erupted into a frenzy.

“What other reason could there be? It must be a trial from Lord Tong Yao for humanity!”

“Exactly! Tong Yao probably doesn’t want humans to get too complacent, so ‘She’ created a competitor!”

“This totally shattered my worldview. Is this going to turn into a race war? Is that what Tong Yao wants?”

“Streamer, do you know what Tong Yao is thinking? Is there any deeper meaning behind this?”

Even the Countermeasures Bureau who were watching from the shadows wanted to know.

They had investigated those mutated beasts.

They weren’t particularly strong.

Perhaps it was because the new era had just begun, so no overly powerful individuals had appeared among the animals yet.

Any C-rank Esper could single-handedly take down creatures with mental power.

At most, they posed a slight threat to those who had just awakened their abilities.

But nowhere near enough to trigger a balanced race war.

Ye Yao’s answer remained brief.

“For fun.”

Those two words almost made everyone’s brains crash.

“Wait, Streamer, is that really Tong Yao’s intention? Isn’t there a deeper reason? Like a trial for humanity, survival of the fittest, an anti-war message, some reason that would help humanity grow further?”

“Didn’t I say ‘for fun’? Are you all deaf? There aren’t that many reasons.”

The chat fell into a brief silence.

“Streamer, does Tong Yao know you’re speaking on ‘Her’ behalf? Misrepresenting the intentions of someone powerful enough to affect the world is serious. Aren’t you afraid ‘She’ will come after you?”

Ye Yao curled her lip.

“I asked. She didn’t mind.”

The chat fell silent again for a moment.

Then, it exploded like a volcano.

“Heavens! Lady Yao Catty! You can actually talk to Tong Yao?”

“What? The Great Emperor Tong Yao blessed animals with power just because it’s fun?”

“Isn’t that great? When can we tame powerful animals and battle them on the streets? I want to forge a bond with a Celestial Emperor Tiger!”

“Whoa! Someone’s trying to pick a fight with death?”

Watching this from behind the scenes, the Countermeasures Bureau’s higher-ups finally felt a sense of relief.

So it was just for fun.

They had thought that there was some deep meaning as well.

The Vengeful Spirit situation was already a headache.

If Ye Tong created powerful species intent on competing with humans for territory, that would be even worse.

From what they could see now…

Ye Tong only seemed to want the creatures of Bluestar to keep up with Bluestar’s environment?

On Super Bluestar, it made sense to have superhumans and super-animals, right?

As for the threat these beasts posed to humans, at worst, the Countermeasures Bureau could send a few people to act as “forest rangers”, monitoring the powerful individuals to prevent them from hunting humans.

It wasn’t necessary to directly kill them. Humans would still come out on top in the end.

They were more worried that certain people who loved fighting might go out and attack wild creatures.

It seemed like some relevant policies needed to be put in place.

“Alright, Q&A time is over. I’m going to continue the story. Next up is the tale of the shady evil organization, Sanctuary!”

Rеаⅾ οn ΚatRеaԁіngСаfе

Ye Yao brushed aside the topic of “Tong Yao” without a second thought.

Perhaps the image of “Tong Yao” in humanity’s heart might shift from “god” to “godlike human”, but that was still better than being associated with a title like the “big golden guy ¹ Emperor of Mankind. ”.

She didn’t want to be a god.

Godlike human it is!

It wasn’t like she appeared often anyway. Even if Tong Yao was a godlike human, what did that have to do with her, Ye Yao or Ye Tong?

She might as well keep telling stories to boost Sequence Zero’s fame.

Behind the scenes, the Countermeasures Bureau felt a headache coming.

They hadn’t intended to reveal anything about Sanctuary to the public.

After all, the matters surrounding it were complicated and even a bit embarrassing for the Bureau.

It was a topic they simply couldn’t release.

But now that Ye Tong wanted to talk about it, it was hard for them to stop her. They could only rely on their internet moderators to continue controlling the narrative.

“First, let me introduce the Sanctuary. This organization is the embodiment of evil in this world. If any of you trip and fall on the street, just blame it on Sanctuary!”

Ye Yao dropped this outrageous claim right away.
